Well, we were set to pull the trigger when one of the classic Montauks got away. The seller of the other seems flaky and is very slow to respond. Have reviewed a Dauntless 160 in great shape and price with a 115hp 4 stroke but I worry about the weight when towing since its about 600 lbs more plus additional fuel. Read that it likes to ride with the bow higher which I dislike. Seller put a hydrofoil on it which looks like many do.

Yes, it's about 7" shorter but is a foot wider. Also has two built in aft seats in lieu of a removable bench. If you had a choice between the two, which would you go for?
